Hi everyone~ I'm a newbie to ZEBRA. After watching the demo video, I think this control is great, but I can't find where the 40s is. Which one is the Y-axis control (Reso/FM) in the second view? Does anyone know? Thanks！

 

I'm not sure I understood your question:

The "Timbre" X controller, controls the "Cutoff" from the: Filter. VCF1/VCF2
The "Timbre" Y controller, controls the "Resonance": VCF and the "FM Frequency Modulation": FM01.

 

Thanks! That's what I meant.
You are right, "Timbre" X controller is "Cutoff" in VCF.
"Timbre" Y I tried to link RESO in VCF and FM in FMO, but I didn't have the cool pitch-shifting effect in the demo video. I guess I chose the wrong button in Y, is that so?

 

General comment:
It depends on the sound designer who made the presets and XY settings. Sometimes the XY control is not assigned correctly at all.
Sometimes moving a knob in XY - shows little effect and sometimes so no effect.

If you want to have "pitch shifting" like in the video copy the settings of the XY controller so that you can understand it.
From which second in the video? I have attached a picture from another Zebra with suggestions for the XY control.
The way I see it, he only uses the XY knobs for the pitch effect. You can also move your modwheel/pitchwheel, maybe it is occupied.

Thanks，now I get it
I didn't know this plugin could also duplicate export XY settings, so cool. Is the pitch change from 40 seconds to 46 seconds of the video.
My keyboard is a MIDI cable connected to an electric piano...
Which knob is the 【key scale pitch】 in the picture? I didn't find it in the corresponding module.

 

1st) Click on the plus sign (as in the following pictures 1,2 ).
2nd) Go to a field with the right mouse button. A pop-up menu will open (as in picture 3).

 

Whether he uses a modwhell or how the sound designer made the preset cannot be completed.
You would have to have the preset to check that.

Figure 1 shows the position from video 40s-46s
Figure 2 shows an own assignment of KeyScalePitch for the cutoff
Image 3 shows the whole thing completely (single processing required)

You so sweet. ☺️ I follow your settings and can hear a lush effect is great!
By the way where is the 'KeyScalePitch' to be set, what is 'KeyScalePitch'？
I saw it in the right-click menu,but I didn't see this KeyScalePitch in the OSC of the generators rack,I can't find it in the manual either.

 

Thank You (Smiley)!

ZebraHZ . Manual (attached in the file attachment):
Page 83 = XY Pad programming
Page 59 = Modulation Matrix

The modifications are only displayed in the mod matrix and not in the center, because they are not sound generators (oscillators) and they are not filters (VCF).

Key Scale Pitch is an invention in Zebra, in other virtual synthesizers, it is called differently
and is divided into pitch rise and pitch fall (-12 +12) and pitch is pitch change.

Example from the manual:
Key Scale Pitch (unlabelled horizontal slider). MIDI note to FMO pitch, -200 to 200 centred around the note E2.
A bipolar 'KeyFol' for the FMO modules.

If you want to pitch a tone or want to pitch the filter cutoff with the pitch, you take in the mod matrix, once
the source for example Key Scale Pitch or a Lfo and as target Cutoff (is called in Zebra VCF1) for example.
Then you can operate the XY matrix with the mouse.

I see.I saw that -200 to 200 slider in the manual before and just didn't quite understand it.
I still have a lot to learn, thanks for sharing!

 

I found the preset "Rolling Metal" from your video example, look at the image under "Usage".

So the solution is not in the XY controller, but: If you have a midikeyboard controller
with aftertouch, you can hear the Grit Accent. And Ctrl A are the sparks.
